Relaxation of state populations after instantaneous excitation of at and . (a) Spontaneous (exponential) decay of with lifetime (thick straight line) and its dissipation accompanied by intersystem crossing with the backward rates (dotted line), (dashed-dotted line), and (dashed line). (b) Accumulation and dissipation of the initially empty state , which decays through faster the higher is , or does not decay at all if [26].
